2021–006 Allowable Costs Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Health Center Program Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 93.224 and 93.527 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: H80CS00233 – 20 Award Period: January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 Type of Finding: • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance • Other Matters Criteria or specific requirement: According to § 75.302 Financial management and standards for financial management systems of 45 CFR Part 75, the non-federal entity’s financial management systems, including records documenting compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award, must be sufficient to permit the preparation of reports required by general and program-specific terms and conditions. Further, the financial management system of each non-federal entity must provide accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements. According to § 75.303 Internal controls of 45 CFR Part 75, the non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition: Documentation supporting allowable costs was not maintained by the Family Practice. Questioned costs: Unknown Context: During our testing of expenditures we noted two instances where payroll expenditures charged to the grant were not supported the by the employee’s approved wage rate. Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure the documentation and records required to support wage calculations are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Cause: Management oversight. The Family Practice lacked established internal controls and procedures over financial grant management to ensure supporting records and documentation are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Effect: Inability to support compliance with the grant and a potential loss of federal funding. Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure documentation is properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Condition: CLA was unable to verify if the Family Practice is in compliance with period of performance. Questioned costs: Unknown Context: During our review expenditures for period of performance we noted expenditures were not supported by adequate records and documentation to facilitate testing. Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure the documentation and records required to identify expenses and the date incurred are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Cause: Management oversight. The Family Practice lacked established internal controls and procedures over financial grant management to ensure supporting records and documentation are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice.

Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure documentation is properly maintained in the files of Family Practice.

We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. We have adjusted the Organization’s Accounting Policies & Procedure Manual to include a detailed review of the General Ledger detail supporting each draw request. Accounting personnel will ensure the Organization’s General Ledger specifically details the month of rent and utility allowance being provided so eligible costs are clearly delineated. Someone other than the preparer will perform a review of each drawdown request to ensure that costs are not being drawn down prior to the operating start date of each individual grant. This issue was discussed with HUD in March 2024 at which time procedural changes were implemented. Effective March 2024 the preparer is required to include the month of rent and utility allowance being provided in the General Ledger detail. A review of the General Ledger detail supporting each draw request will be performed by someone other than the preparer to ensure that costs are not being drawn down prior to the operating start date of each individual grant.

Condition and Context: The System did not complete the PRF Period 1 reporting in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidance. The System did not enter the correct amounts from its data supporting lost revenues for all quarters; it also did not enter the correct amounts from its data supporting eligible expenditures. The adjustments needed within the PRF reports to correct the errors decreased year over year lost revenues from $21,664,944 to $11,771,346 and decreased eligible expenditures from $7,527,194 to $4,334,813, on total distributions of PRF funding of $14,972,846. In summary, the data supporting amounts for lost revenues and eligible expenses totals $16,104,159 on total distributions of PRF funding of $14,972,846 in this reporting period. Corrective Action Plan: System management agrees with the finding and has updated its lost revenue calculation. Management attempted to update lost revenue amounts with filing of its Period 4 reports; however, additional data entry errors were made. Management has worked extensively over the past two years to monitor the changing guidelines surrounding the various programs designed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management has furthered this effort by attending continuing professional education on this topic and reading available guidance to ensure that the final recordkeeping maintained by the System follows the guidance as established by HRSA.
